Patient's question:
I'm usually quite healthy, but recently, for some unknown reason, my semen has turned red. A few days ago, I went to a pharmacy and bought some medicine, but it hasn't helped much, which has been making me very agitated. So, I wanted to ask you, is the red semen a sign of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
If the color of semen changes again, it is important to first identify the underlying cause, as different causes require different treatments. If it is bacterial prostatitis, medication to reduce inflammation is necessary. However, if it is non-bacterial prostatitis, medication is not required. A combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine can be effective. Avoid drinking beer and consuming spicy foods to prevent worsening of symptoms.
